Fuck this, I’m out…
Chomsky is in the epstien emails repeatedly too
Haha, who could have thought that a tankie would be fine with US authoritarians? )))
Not a defense of Chomsky because fuck him, but he claimed he was an anarcho-syndicalist, i.e. not a tankie. Not everyone who sucks is a tankie.
I agree that he is technically not a tankie, I guess campist would be a more accurate term. But considering these recent revelations, one would does wonder…
Were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane?
I don’t know. Is Chomsky a tankie?
Can someone who is anti-Soviet and anti-China be considered a tankie?
Of course. as long as you use the liberal the definition of tankie which is ‘everyone who disagrees with US foreign policy’
Real answer: I guess Tito? lol
Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)
In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.
That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

Chomsky is anti-Russia too, what are you talking about?
That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?
Answer my question first: were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane? Chomsky isn’t one, so name one.
Those that support Russia aren’t actually left wing they are just claiming to be. So I guess it depends on the definition of tankie.
Of course; anything to the left of Elizabeth Warren is tankie
Lol shut the fuck up liberal, this clown is yours
Chompsky has repeatedly denied several genocides, because they were committed by people opposed to the US. Particularly the ones committed by Pol Pot.
That’s pure tankie energy.
The only lacking part is that Chompsky has never really advocated for actual left wing policy. He just sort of issues warnings about shit we already know is broken and wrong. Like consolidated media control.
Lol Khmer Rouge wasnt opposed by the US it was supported by the US. By no sane definition is Chomsky a tankie.
I’d love to know where youre getting this narrative
I’m saving this post to show to anyone who tries to claim “tankie” is anything other than a meaningless snarl word for punching left.
because they were committed by people opposed to the US. Particularly the ones committed by Pol Pot.
You. Fucking. Idiot
Chickenshit mod
Yup, the arrogantly wrong, perpetually rude Reddit smuglords need to be coddled. Maybe if the .ml admins are just a little bit more submissive to their users .world will finally stop trying to drive them off the site!

Punching left-authoritarian specifically. I feel that’s a fair direction to punch.
Noted authoritarian, Norm Chomsky.
You’re an idiot.
Chomsky is in the “vote blue no matter who” camp though?
How the fuck is chomky a tankie. Based on this evidence he’s clearly a lot of things, but calling him a tankie is ridiculous
tankie once more clearly just getting used as a pejorative for anyone an anti-communist social democrat dislikes
Don’t take shitposts so seriously!
A tankie is a supporter of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such regime that follow such a model. Nothing more, nothing less. )

‘i have a ‘very negative’ view of the oligarchs running the dictatorship of capital, but tankies are subhuman roaches’
kay you were clearly just shitposting
The “leftists” of .world and .db0 have fully embraced mask off Nazism so long as it lets them punch left
Yeah I’ve noticed that on db0 they think they’re being “normal” but it’s the fasc they have been surrounded with since birth, but on world they’re liberals who would rather knowingly vote fasc than lose a single penny of profit
The admins of db0 have endorsed the stance that every Soviet soldier deserved to die for not surrendering to the Nazis
So Nordic model leftists are tankies. Ukraine supporters are tankies. Nelson Mandela was a tankie.
Are Nordic model leftists supporters of Authoritarianism? That’s the key part.
Do they think a dictatorship is a good idea?
Or do they excuse or deny a genocide because the people doing it are opposed to the US?
Chompsky has done both, but the denial of the Cambodian genocide of Pol Pot is something that Chompsky has never really walked back from.
Are Nordic model leftists supporters of Authoritarianism? That’s the key part.
Yes. Absolutely. By definition. By any leftist definition, the Nordic states are undeniably authoritarian. They are literally capitalist! The fact that you are even asking this is absurd.
Do they think a dictatorship is a good idea?
Yes, they think the dictatorship of capitalist class is a good idea. Again, this is undeniable by any leftist definition.
Or do they excuse or deny a genocide because the people doing it are opposed to the US?
Given that nobody does this, apparently there’s no such thing as a tankie. Or are you just trying to slip in a blatant strawman?
Chompsky has done both
You listed three things, you illiterate dipshit.
Pol Pot
opposed to the US
You absolute fucking dumbass.
Okay, you know nothing. Can’t count, and think that democratic socialists are authoritarians. Which is wild. Democratic socialism is the path to actual communism. Leninism is simply authoritarianism in a red coat. Seriously, the guy ignored an election that his party lost (November 1917), and then jailed and executed the winners, who were actual communists.
Also,
The Khmer Rouge, the communist party led by Pol Pot, came to power in 1975 during the Cambodian Civil War, which was linked to the Vietnam War. They defeated the Khmer Republic, who were heavily supported by the U.S., including a massive bombing campaign against the Khmer Rouge until 1973. North Vietnam, who had many soldiers in Cambodia, and China were the primary backers of the Khmer Rouge during the civil war. Between 1975 and 1979, the Khmer Rouge perpetrated the Cambodian genocide, which killed between 1.5 and 2 million people, nearly 25% of Cambodia’s population.[8] During the genocide, China was the main international patron of the Khmer Rouge, supplying “more than 15,000 military advisers” and most of its external aid.[9]
Now, things changed a bit after Vietnam invaded Cambodia. (due to the Khmer Rouge attacking Vietnam.) Both China and the US were at odds with Vietnam, to the point where China invaded Vietnam. The US (and China) voted for the Khmer Rouge to keep Cambodia’s UN seat, and the US, being ever willing to work with monsters, secretly (and I can’t stress that word enough) worked to bolster Pol Pot against Vietnam.
Imagine thinking “how can you possibly think capitalism is authoritarian! That’s absurd! You clearly no nothing” was going to be a compelling argument to anti-capitalists.
Seriously, another prime example that “tankie” is just a pejorative for anyone left of Elizabeth Warren
i know i shouldn’t expect much from the users of a right wing circlejerk instance, but come on: are y’all seriously calling fucking chomsky a tankie now?
I am not right wing. Believe it or not it’s possible to be left leaning and not spew gibberish like “NATO made putin invade”, “NK is a vanguard against imperialism” and “everything I don’t like is a GIA psyop”.
More so if for example you speak fluent russian, you’ve lived there for multiple years and you’ve studied the history of russian imperialism (be it in the form of the USSR or its current form).
I wouldn’t say Chomsky is a tankie, but his involvement with US oligarchs and authoritarians does make one wonder…
FYI, I consider tankies to be supporters of authoritarian state capitalism and the genocidal imperialist policies of such models.
Liberals are right wing, you are a liberal
The word “liberal” in a political context means something different in the rest of the world.
This another funny thing about you tankies. You have zero clue about anything. It’s just online edgelord roleplay or open demagoguery if one wants to be less charitable.
You even did the lame “Shut the fuck up liberal” thing.
You can’t even get your insults correct because your so tied up with American-style online roleplay.
“In American, liberal means left wing!”
No, that’s a Nazi lie that’s been brainwashed in for 25 years by Fox News and the GOP.
“We’re bringing the red scare back, boys, until we can kick out everyone left of us!”
Liberals are right wingers. Full stop, end of story. They are center-right, they can be progressive on social issues, but they will always sell you up the river on anything economic. For example: gestures broadly at everything Jeffries and Schumer have done since Trump was elected
Liberals in other countries are still pro-capitalist, you may now commence to shutting the fuck up
This another funny thing about you tankies. You have zero clue about anything. It’s just online edgelord roleplay or open demagoguery if one wants to be less charitable.
Go back to Reddit you insufferable loser
RIP Overton Window, we hardly knew ye
no u
Lol try harder
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
So you’re actually extremely right wing
They boned, fyi.
Not a crossover I expected, goddamn. Bannon is literally what Chomsky spent his life-work denouncing. That’s immensely disappointing…
I’m guessing they’re ideologically opposed…but united by a shared love of children that’s much more important to them.
There’s a reason chomsky has been allowed to be the “imminent thought leader of the left” for the past 60 years. He has not advocated for anything beyond voting democrat.
Just because he wrote one truth about the media ecosystem doesnt somehow absolve him from that same truth about the media ecosystem.
He would not consistently be featured in the new york times et al if he was actually a threat to their existence.
eminent
Nah, the left is going to get a real thought leader any day now
Gonna sound like 20-20 hindsight, but I never found Chomsky to be particularly insightful or interesting in the first place. Same with people like Malcolm Gladwell and Naomi Klein. They’re just “meh”. Yeah, they say some things I agree with…but that’s low hanging fruit. They’re always wrong and no more valuable to me than random people I know or meet.
Naomi Klein is good, no idea why youre lumping Gladwell, another Epstein intellectual, in with her. She’s not a revolutionary, but she has good insights.
I might have at one time lumped Chomsky and Klein together but these days he’s more of a Gladwell
I think Chomsky has some very valid points and have learned a lot from him. However most of Chomsky’s criticism ironically applies to Chomsky himself. Chomsky tries to limit the left to voting Democrat over and over again instead of pursuing other means of achieving change.
Chomsky’s got a lot of explaining to do 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
He found other people into fondling Putin’s balls and diddling kids and fell in love.
